Come Have Tea With Me!

It was tea party time! About 10 new friends came over and we had tea and cookies. It was a a nice evening of laughing and visiting.

I want to share the recipes though. They were good and easy - my favorite kind of recipes!

Bake 10-12 minutes or until top is set and toothpick inserted into center comes out slightly wet. After brownies are out of oven, wiat for centers to fall. This will happen as cooling. If not, then tap with back of teaspoon to make hole for peanut butter.

Yes, it was coat and mitten weather in Florida! At Bayou George Christian Church, we ladies had our own awesome start of the Christmas season. We worshipped together, led by Faye and Libby. We invited Panama City Christian Church and Eastside Christian Church ladies to join our "Christmas Gathering" and we had 38 beautiful women! It was su...
